1 Timothy 6
1 As many as are under the yoke of slavery should consider their own owners to be worthy of full respect, so that God's name and doctrine not be slandered.
Vala voni awalipasi pavukhygwa vavatolele avatwa vavo nalavayarukhara rwoni, vinogiwa vavombage vuvlevule ukuta elitawa lya Nguluve nulumanyisyo lulaghe uuhuduchiwa.
2 Those who have owners who are believers must not disregard them because they are brothers; instead they must serve them even better, because those receiving the good service are believers and beloved. Teach and exhort these things.
Avasuhiwa avanyavatwa avikhwe dekhiwa valeghe ukhuvabeda ulwakhuva avene vanyalukolo. Vavavombelage ukhuleutelila. Ulwakhuva avakungwa vikhuvatanga imbombo nchavo khukhisa nulugano. Manyisya ululagilo lwa imbombo ncho.
3 If anyone teaches differently and does not consent to sound words, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine that accords with godliness,
Engave umunu uyuge emayisya uvuyangi sikwambilila ulumanyisyo lwetu umwene ikhiyemikha, ulwakuva ango mamenyu ga ukulodeva vetu UYesu Krisite, igave ulumanyisyo ulukhuvalogoncha khuvuvalanche.
4 he is conceited and understands nothing. Rather he is obsessed with controversies and hair-splitting word battles, from which come envy, strife, slanderings, evil suspicions,
Umunu uywa ekhaginya sakhimalile khinu. Alinulukhana na amayengo khulimenyu. Amamemyu aga khikhola uwolo, embancha, ukhudukana nukhudukana,
5 constant wranglings of men with corrupted minds and destitute of the Truth, who suppose that godliness is a means to financial gain. Keep away from such people.
embancha nchasike gwoni khuvanu awanyalukhela ulunugagikhe vavolekhile uwayelweli. Visaga ukhuta uvugolofu yunjila eya vukavi.
6 Now godliness with contentment is great gain.
Lino uvugolofu nukwedela vutageli uvavakha.
7 We brought nothing into the world and it is certain that neither can we take anything out.
Ulwakuva satwanche nikhinu pakhilunga. Satuwesya ukhutola eghevenchoga ukhuma pakhilunga.
8 So having food and clothing we will be content with that.
Lino tukwelanile nekyakula nemienda.
9 But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and into many foolish and harmful desires, that plunge people into ruin and loss;
Aviva nekyuma avovigwa mumbotulanogwa mumi sunguru, vigawa mmboperwa uvuvaha nuvunugwe uvuvivi, lwu vitola engelo inchi khuvanikha vigele mmbotulanogwa nuvuvivi.
10 because the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil; in their greediness some have been led away from the faith and have impaled themselves on many distresses.
Ulwakhuva ukhukhigana ekhuma wuwadilo wa mbivi nchoni. Avanu avinogwa enewo vanyaghile khuvutali nulwidiko vibudile vavo nulususuvalo uluvawa.
11 But you, O man of God, flee these things; rather pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, gentleness.
Uve vimunu va Nguluve, uyile imbombo encho. Ukhugage uwayelweli, uvugolofu, uvuvalanche, ekhisa, uvudekhedekha.
12 Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal life into which you were called—indeed, you confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
Lwinelwaga embancha enonu eylwidiko iihatelila uwuni uwa sikhu nchoni uwuwilagiwe. Pivu akhalumbilila khuvanu awingi khuulinu ekhinonu. (aiōnios g166)
13 In the presence of the God who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus who testified the good confession before Pontius Pilate, I charge you
Nikukupa ululagilo ulu khuvulogolo khwa Nguluve, uveipela ifinu fyoni, khuvulogolo kwa Yesu Krisite, uvianchovile khwa Pontio Pilato:
14 to keep this commandment without spot, blameless until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
tunza ululagilo kuvugolofu, khwomela ukhudwada, upwalincha UYesu Krisite.
15 which He will manifest at the proper time—He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and the Lord of lords;
Nguluve alivonesya wuekhwincha khusikhi unonu-Nguluve usayiwa vyamokha, alimwene, Umtwa uvielogancha.
16 who alone has immortality, residing in unapproachable light; whom no man has seen or can see; to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
Umwene itama amanchuva gani, itama mulumuli ulusalwinchima. Asikhuli umunu uveisya ukhumbona uviewesye ukhundola. Khumwene khive khisa emakha isikhu nchoni. Amina. (aiōnios g166)
17 Command those who are rich in this present world not to be haughty, nor to rely upon the uncertainty of riches but on the living God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy; (aiōn g165)
Mvavule avakhani avakhiluga ekhi valenke ukwiginia, valeghke ukhuvila u Nguluve. Uvekhutupa uvukavi woni uwa wayelweli tuvuhovokhele. (aiōn g165)
18 they are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous sharers
Vavule avivombo inonu, vahuvilage imbombo inonu, vave avayakhisa, nuwuta yeh uwa khunya.
19 —storing up for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, so that they may lay hold on the eternal life.
Khunjila eyo vikhevikhela ulwutu ulunonu khumbombo inchikwincha, pwuvinche vatame khuwumi wa suhu nchoni.
20 O Timothy, guard the deposit! Turn away from the godless, empty chatter and inconsistencies of what is falsely called ‘science’
Timotheo, lolela khila ekhyuwupile uvekutali nukwinchofancha agakhiko yofu nulukani ulwa kipelwa lwikhencha ulukwala.
21 —by professing it some have erred concerning the Faith. The Grace be with you. Amen.
Avage awanu vipanga inogwa iencho, valemilwe ulwidiko, uluhengu luve paninie navene.
